Project Life 2014>>Week 6

Hello Project Life Week 6!

Boy the days feel like they're flying by! We're well into the 2nd month of the year and I'm still excited to be doing this project again. I must be honest though, I do usually hit a time of year where I question why I started this project but I'll stay positive and hope I stay enthusiastic the entire year. Starting the year as a member of the Stuck On U Sketches Project Life team sure helps with motivation and really the Project Life Challenges at SOUS are a great way to stay motivated with this  year long project.

Here's my week 6 spread

For this spread I used a variety of items, a filler card from the PL Midnight core kit, SN@P journal cards, MME enamel dots, a Studio Calico mailer card I cut down to 4x6 and the front cover of the program from our church service this week. I also added some word stickers from a past Scrap Shotz kit. One of the interesting things I did here was to cut a 4x6 photo into two 3x4's and place them in side by side pockets. I've seen other people do this and I really like the look.

Thanks for looking!

Scrap Shotz January 2014 Kit Reveal!!

A little late but better late than never, here are my projects for the first Scrap Shotz kit of 2014 featuring the Studio Calico Print shop line.

I used scraps from my layouts for these cards and whipped these up in no time!

@TODAY

Positive for Peanuts

There are a bunch of great patterns in this SC line and I had lots of fun working with them as you can see on this layout.

Houseguests

The kit contains vellum die cuts and I used a bunch on this layout.

A clear Wink of Stella brush marker is also in the kit and I used it to highlight a couple of flowers in this patterned paper. The white in the top left and you can see the other on the bottom right.

Ordinary Travel Captured

I used a bit of mist and also colored the stencil on the berry cardstock with the Wink of Stella marker.

Head over to the Scrap Shotz gallery and take a look at all the Creative Team Projects!

Everyday Life...

The majority of my scrapbooking layouts focus on day-to-day events in our lives. It's funny but when we have a big family event like Easter, Christmas or a birthday I forget to take photos.
If I'm being honest, I can get tired of trying to find a new way to scrapbook those yearly events, maybe I need to challenge myself on those layouts next year???

In the meantime, here are a couple of recent layouts:

Layout Tag

We just wrapped up another edition of layout tag at Scrap Shotz and here's my contribution:

patterned paper Elle's Studio, cs Bazzil, banner & alphas OA, blooms Prima, mist Dylusions, butterfly & frame LYB, stars Studio Calico

I 've been having problems getting a good photo so it's really hard to read the title. It says "She's Raking In the Money". You can see what everyone created here .

Thanks for looking!

Project Life>>Week 18

Another week in the life of our family. A baseball tournament for the boys but only one night away. Mom's yearly scrapbooking dat at the Scrap Shotz National Scrapbooking Crop, the top right photo is a card I created to show off the new Die-Versions die "Celebrate" for Scrap Shotz.

My little girl baked a whole bunch of cookies so the boys were happy having a sweet treat for the next few days. The stars on the yellow cardstock are a stamp from a Studio Calico kit, stamped in Wild Honey Distress Ink, a great way to fill in a plain space.

Week 19+ to follow soon!

Scrapbook Challenges Sketch 344

I'm playing along with scrapbookchallenges.com this month with this layout for Sketch 344 ,

All supplies are from the February Scrap Shotz monthly kit full of the Authentique Renew collection.

Project Life>>Week 7

Hey!
I am away on vacation so it's time to catch up on PL posts :)), since I am not creating new PL layouts right now ;))

Here is Week 7, another double page spread:

here's the left side:

here's the right side:

this week I had less photos than past weeks but more memorabilia pieces, drawings done by ds#3, a costco receipt and tags from some jacket purchases. I included a couple of filler cards, one made with my SC stamps and washi tape; others with some leftover ribbon and AC "chap" papers in addition to the Seafoam core kit cards.

Everyday.Happy.Fun.

{supplies: 34th Street Scrapbook Kit, Studio Calico}

As I worked on this layout I was thinking about how much things have changed from when the older kids were 4 years old. Back then we had one Gameboy Advance that belonged to their dad, no iPods or iPads. The little guy won't know a life without handheld electronics of some sort, it's crazy how well he can navigate them without any instruction. I wonder what technology will be available when he has kids.

Project Life | Week 5

Welcome to week 5, another two page spread this week and here it is:

The journal cards are the back side of the filler card on the previous week's layout so you can get double duty from them. I added a few bits and pieces from my stash (SC 34th St.Scrapbook kit, Thickers), arrows on journal card are from the Clementine core kit. The date is stamped with the Studio Calico Basics vol.3 roller stamp and week 5 title card is from the Seafoam core kit.

Here is the left side:

and the right side:

That means one month done and 11 more to go in my 2013 Project Life.

Thanks for stopping by :) !!!

Project Life | Week 4

Can't believe I have another 2 page spread for this week, just too many photos I had to include :)

Here is the left side:

I LOVE the days of the week die cut, it's from Studio Calico and I cut it with my Silhouette Cameo.
I placed it overtop of a filler/journal card from the PL Seafoam core kit.

Here is the right side:

You'll notice in the spread I have photos that were taken in portrait mode on their "side", I didn't want to trim them for the 3x4 pockets or change to a different page protector so this works just fine for me.

Here's a close-up of the die cut:

Thanks for taking a look!

Father's Day

I was so behind printing photos, finally got June 2012 to November 2012 printed just before Christmas so scrapbooking Father's Day 2012 was long overdue!

{supplies: Studio Calico Drive In add-on from Summer of '69 kit}

My favorite part of this layout is the stamped kraft cardstock. It was a very cool triangle stamp included in the kit. A simple design, that's my favorite kind :) .

SBC - Scrapbook Challenges

I came across the Scrapbook Challenge website and decided to jump in and tackle this sketch challenge.
Here is my completed layout:

{supplies: The Crafters Workshop mask, Mr.Huey's Lemonade spray; paper, die cuts, alphas Studio Calico kit }

I am looking forward to completing future challenges at Scrapbook Challenge :)

Today is about the last day of school for the kids and a Christmas hamper. 

All caught up for now!

December Daily-Nineteen

Another day without a photo, no time to take one at the turkey lunch at Peyton's school today. I am adding a thank you card from one of her classmates to my book.

I had to add the Wednesday sticker(from my project life kit) when I noticed that the December calendar sticker is from last year so the date is on the wrong day for this year.

Thanks for stopping by :)

December Daily-Eighteen

Today was about a trip to Jack's school to see the multi-discipline project he and his classmates have been working on.
It's always nice to see what he's been up to at school and meet some of his friends.

Added some washi tape and an SC wood veneer accent, simple and done quickly!

Thanks for looking!
